35.Nm phones
36.Nd remote host phone number data base
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The file
39.Pa /etc/phones
40contains the system-wide
41private phone numbers for the
42.Xr tip 1
43program.
44This file is normally unreadable, and so may contain
45privileged information.
46The format of the file is a series of lines
47of the form: <system-name>[\ \et]*<phone-number>.
48The system name is
49one of those defined in the
50.Xr remote 5
51file and the phone number is constructed from any sequence of
52characters terminated only by ``,'' or the end of the line.
53The ``='' and ``*'' characters are
54indicators to the auto call units to pause and wait for a second dial
55tone (when going through an exchange).
56The ``='' is required by the
57.Tn DF02-AC
58and the ``*'' is required by the
59.Tn BIZCOMP
601030.
61.Pp
62Only one phone number per line is permitted.
63However, if more than
64one line in the file contains the same system name
65.Xr tip 1
66will attempt to dial each one in turn, until it establishes a connection.
